I got a Samsung T24D390EW 24" TV from PC world that is powered by a 14v power supply. I use this in the caravan running of the 12v leisure battery. It is rated at 2.5A, so allowing for the slight drop in voltage it it should run at about 3A so on a 45 amp hour leisure battery you get 15 hours of running time.
I have never run it that long and it is often not the only thing running of the battery but have I never had problems with it running the battery down during the evening.
Because it is not sold for 12v use it was a lot cheaper than the ones purpose made for this use (£150) but I did have to make up the power lead for the 12v socket in the Van. I could have cut the lead off the power supply provided and just put the 12v plug on that but decided to keep this in tact so I can use it of the mains at home when I don't need it in the van.
